yes you are treasuring your transports, that is the way japan plays.
can you mix your naval purchase up a bit? 1 sub for every destroyer he has and carrier, you also want carrier fighters as well, they make your fleet more versatile and are very good for defense.
why are you losing a sub to kill transports? stop trading. 4 fighters 2 tacticals, if he scrambles you have better odds of killing more stuff. also drop 2 more inf on aleutan.
keep that other transport back to counter anzac transport from taking something. move india west. you also don’t need to sit in japan with your units.
if you do decide to lose the sub, transport 2 infantry to amur, start pushing for sino russian income to get that train rolling, if not, why lose a sub?

so in other words, change your buy up a bit to include a carrier fighter 2x in the mix.
don’t need an arty for india 2 inf is fine to hold india/move west (the 1 ipc upgrades a fighter to a tactical and it is good to roll on 4s). he might try to liberate it later if you skimp out. also good for exchanges if russia tries to exchange with you.
I am not going to dwell in the middle east with 60 guys, that would be dumb. I am going and coming back or something like that, I just want a quick bankroll so russia can’t extend too far while I am gone, because I will come back. the idea is that you have a reason for him to keep more stuff there or you take those spots or block that ally.
I am in a really awkward position where I have to see what usa does before I decide which route to go. This could turn into a turkey shoot.
-
ugh you forgot to move india -.-
-
oh nvm you did.
ok looks good. are you sure seth wasn’t going to scramble? I would have put a bomber over the transports just in case… but no matter. 3 fighter 2 tactical should blow out 3 fighters. I prefer 2 units to 1 when possibile.
-
monkey
if i was a puppet for cow, we would have either won in round 5, or crashed and burned badly…

sorry seth, i should have asked.
do you want to scramble and die horribly, against 3 fighters and 2 tactical bombers? i have 98%, so I assumed you would not. if you really want to, we can do it with forum dice.
-
you still should have put a bomber over it. I thought you would you adjust your other combat, because 4v1 is overkill when there is a potential 5v3 at steak balancing it out to 3v1 and 6v3 is better.
-
well he scrambled on a 4v3 to protect 3 transports, we went fighter for fighter. he might scramble in a 5v3, but maybe not since you should roll 3 hits with that on the first round.
-
maybe who knows. I’d scramble it depending on my mood.
-
then again germany air units always find action where as japan units often just sit in the ocean someplace.

@Cow:

as allies i never miss a chance to kill german and italian air. pacific air is totally different. ya, i should have put a bomber over it. anyway, we will wait for seth.
-
I’m going to stew over what I want to do as the allies. I’ve got a lot of things I’d like to do, I just have to figure out what I should do to max my chances of winning.
-
seth go full pacific put this game on crack. :)
-
I don’t know if I am going to go full Pacific or not, that’s what I’m stewing over. I know of a way that’ll ensure that US has a presence in Europe but it’s risky, expensive, and could backfire on me.

i sure hope you aren’t talking about south africa…. lol
maybe i shouldn’t take it over cow?
-
if you take it, you should defend it, which is not hard. depends on what america does, we have to see what happens.

@Cow:

it would take him 3 turns to get down there. building 3 inf a turn is probably not hard for me, if he chooses to move there.
i’m still curious what he is thinking though. i guess russia could reinforce norway with quite a bit.
but germany only needs to send enough south to the middle east to ride over top of the UK stack. any more sent is a waste for germany, since germany needs to hold enough back to make sure that russia doesn’t go liberate poland and the balkans.
though i personally am still not sure germany going to the middle east at all is good, seeing as how russia is more than happy to build tanks, mech, and already has a giant airforce. If i was germany, i would be building as many infantry and artillery as I can each turn, because germany DOES have an income advantage over russia, but right now russia has both a total unit advantage and a much bigger airforce. Japan can take egypt in the long game, without germany suiciding poland to conquer egypt.
-
veqryn that is why I been trading units with russia with italy, here and there. I still have an income advantage over russia, but I had to fight the americans for awhile, because of the whole triple threat thing it was kind of awkward (london italy west germany)… I was eventually going to have to give up london, but it became too conveniant to just stall out and hold it, especially since japan looked like it was going to win… there was no real reason for me to do anything other than be a distraction.
I honestly thought you would win the pacific, which is what I wanted you to do, but it is not happening so yeah. I thought okay he’ll move all his stuff to carolines and then stack up next to hawaii or new south wales and go all in or something. or you would take western australia and then park all your air there etc etc etc.
I pretty much eyeballed the pacific the whole game and I have seen japan win the pacific against full pacific usa from the start of the game… he was a split income usa and you had super good luck in china… logistically that was awesome because you didn’t need to drop minors or buy so many transports.
I was confused as to why japan waited so long to take calcutta, especially with china out of the picture japan had that many more ground to shove there. normally india is dead round J4-J6 depending on japan. Often times anzac will take java round 1 and shove air units on it (distracts you).
Sure I gave up lots of ground to push for and hold a VC / national objective / capital. I am used to seeing more hyper aggressive play styles for global (otherwise it turns into an extremely long game in which case I would much rather play TWW, big world, WaW, NWO, etc if I wanted to play a long game). In revised + aa50 low luck and dice games, it is easy to be hyper aggressive and harder for people to turtle up. As axis japan makes many tanks to take moscow while the allies can go back to back on france or hold NWE or usa take italy or russia push for NO. In revised I always buy strait tanks with russia early on and start attacking right away, usa goes southern europe / belly, uk hits the top, russia comes in from the east. uk / usa can hit the west as well back to back if they have to, while japan tosses tanks at russia.
I was hyper aggressive early on and you were conservative so usa had more leeway to invest in the atlantic. I calculated 2-3 rounds in advance and realized I would have 20-30% odds at taking russia and those odds would remain the same / not improve and I wanted to attack, but that would be silly if japan was not ready to go all in yet.
so right now I am in a bit of a pickle. I wanted to buy all bombers the round before you would stack up for your attack so I could attack russia at the same time with all available units, hence go all in. I thought you would get ready to do the same. Instead we are still playing.
I will figure something out, but it ultimately depends on what the allies do.
